Megan hurriedly called for an ambulance in a panic.
After Sophia was sent to the hospital, I took the opportunity to return to my own room and started tidying up.
Being back in this familiar space gave me a bit of comfort.
But before I could catch my breath, Ethan knocked on the door and came in.
He had that hypocritical smile on his face again, "It's good that you're back.
Actually, I had already talked to Sophia before, and she agreed to give the room back to you.
It's just that she's been busy preparing for the wedding recently, and there are too many things.
She wanted to wait until Jayden takes a break to move."
"However, I still want to say that what you said to Sophia today was too harsh.
After all, we are a family.
Why bother calculating money so clearly."
I sneered, "Ethan, I also wanted to treat Sophia as family, but unfortunately, she doesn't think that way."
Ethan sighed, "Sophia has been under a lot of pressure lately.
The wedding preparations have left her overwhelmed.
Don't stoop to her level."
"Besides, with all the fuss today, Sophia's emotions are very unstable, and she even said she wants to cancel the wedding."
At this point, Ethan showed a flattering expression, "Didn't you say you had another house before? If you could give it to Sophia, she probably wouldn't make a fuss anymore."
I finally understood why Ethan's attitude had suddenly changed.
It turned out he was waiting for me here.
I pretended to be in a difficult position and frowned, "Ethan, giving the house to Sophia is not a problem, but I just rented out that house."
Actually, I had already planned to confront Megan and the others, but I was afraid they would secretly play tricks.
I had rented out the house in advance to cut off their retreat.
I could only make some compromises for now, "Don't worry, I can compensate the tenant for the breach of contract and have them move out.
When the house is vacant, Sophia can move in."
"But is it for rent or for purchase."
Wanting to freeload off my house? No way.
Ethan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Naturally, they'll live there first.
When the young couple has money in the future, they can buy a new house."
Then he asked me with a flattering face, "Olivia, your mother-in-law just bought some top-quality Longjing tea.
Shall I brew a cup for you."
I instantly became alert, but on the surface, I still nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Ethan.
I really like Longjing tea."
Not long after, Ethan brought a cup of tea into my room.
On the surface, nothing seemed unusual, but I thought of the conversation I had overheard before and felt a chill in my heart.
I didn't take a single sip of that tea.
I secretly took some tea leaf samples, planning to find an opportunity to send them out for testing.
At the same time, I gently touched the pendant hanging around my neck.
Inside, there was a hidden note recording some of my daughter's abnormal symptoms before her death.
I began to suspect whether my daughter's death was really an accident.
Could those symptoms be related to some kind of slow-acting poison? In order to uncover the truth, I had to be even more careful and cautious.
I secretly installed a few hidden cameras in the corners of the room, hoping to capture some useful evidence.
At this moment, my phone vibrated.
It was a bank message reminding me that the 70 million I had won had been deposited into my account.
Seeing this huge sum of money, I felt more confident.
I was going to use this money to conduct an investigation without drawing attention until the truth was revealed.
After Sophia returned from the hospital, although she no longer made a fuss, she still occasionally made sarcastic remarks to me, "So what if the house is yours? It was only given to you because Mom and Dad dote on you, not because you earned it yourself.
What's there to be smug about."
I held back the urge to hit her and silently continued my investigation.
